Synopsis

Top Coppers follows the adventures of cops John Mahogany and Mitch Rust, as they attempt to rid the fictional world of Justice City from its deranged criminal underworld. The universe and its characters are derived from the conventions of American and British cop shows of the Seventies and Eighties, from Starsky & Hutch to The Professionals, but is set in no specific time or country. With big, silly characters and hilarious stories, Top Coppers is filled with familiar tropes and references from the police and action genres, as well as drawing on relatable British situations, problems and relationships.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
marcusjdeakin This show if exceptionally funny. Many people have been complaining about the show after watching the first episode, which in my opinion is the worst episode. Its still funny but does not compare to the second and third episodes. If I were you I would definitely give the show a go and don't stop watching after one episode It has guest stars Rich Fulcher and Simon Farnaby ( Both of which starred in the comedy 'The Mighty Boosh' Which is also worth a shot. The humor in the show is not for everyone but frankly I love it. The characters are all very cheesy but the cheesiness is played off so well in this, Chief is one of my favorite characters just due to the fact that he is what every 80's cop is imagined as. Watch this show. Its worth it
peter-jf So this is a parody of 70s and 80s cop shows, I imagine the intent was to be rather like Leslie Nielsen's Police Squad , but it misses that by several miles, the gags are just not as good. I found it to be downright derivative of other, better comedy. The main interest is in remembering in which shows you first saw the plot lines and jokes. I think it was a mistake to mix tropes from both US and UK police series, the styles do not mesh well and it feels like a very jarring mash up of Starsky & Hutch, The Sweeney, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and Police Squad with elements from Castle, CSI, The Comic Strip Presents, and numerous other shows. The main characters are just annoying but there are some good performances from the guest stars.
Paul Evans Mitch Rust and John Mahogany are working for the JCPD, Justice City Police department, battling crime.I've watched all the episodes so far, and I can't decide if I utterly love or utterly hate it, every Police cliché is intentionally done, and sometimes it works, and sometimes i've been sat here thinking did they really just.....The silly side of me is quite enjoying it, and I can't help sniggering at some of the jokes, Steen Raskopoulos has a kind of Michael Fassbender vibe which is by no means a bad thing.I'll have to keep watching, even if it's just for more loudness from Di Botcher, or the sternness of Helga, it's so bad it's rather funny. 6/10
Liam3011 I really do not understand what's so funny about this. It's just like every other piece of garbage made by BBC3, that's been branded as "comedy". You can see why the channel's being taken down. The last funny shows released by BBC3 were Bad Education and Bluestone 42; since then, they have been embarrassing. Let's start with the Americanised humour, shall we? This, in my opinion, plays too much like an American sitcom. The humour isn't that funny at all. In America, they'd probably find this funny because their humour differs from ours. But shows like this just do not work in the UK. They never have, and they never will. The good things about the humour in Bad Education and Bluestone 42, was that it was sarcastic and very British. This however, is not. The acting? Terrible. The main "characters" are about as fun as revising for an exam. If not, less so. They lack so much creativity, it's unreal.The background characters are honestly more convincing than the protagonists, and that's not a good thing at all. If I find the background characters more interesting, in anything, then it's just... not right. The main characters are given the spotlight for a reason, and sadly these ones do not shine.The show is so unfunny, you'd get more joy out of EastEnders.The best thing about this show is when it ends, honestly. Especially when Russell Howard's Good News follows, or something else interesting.
